Gary’s main instrument is the clarinet but he soon found (at ten years old) that just about any instrument he grabbed he was able to play. When he was a junior in high school, he accompanied Bobby Darin on Bobby’s summer tour playing the saxophone. Gary plays piano, saxophone, clarinet, flute, trumpet, drums and of course, he sings as well! Gary has played music for a living since he graduated from high school. He arranges all of his music himself. Gary has played at Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills for the past ten years but is now performing Thursday–Saturday from 8 pm in the new Gar Bar of The Stinking Rose Beverly Hills.

The newly remodeled Gar Bar at The Stinking Rose is the perfect setting for the many talents of Gary Sherer. Settle into a cozy booth or find a seat at the bar and enjoy an evening of pure entertainment. Standards and pop songs plus everything you love about the intimacy of the piano man and his music is the perfect way to begin or end an evening.
